The paper describes a new approach for two‑sided service marketplaces that replaces fixed request forms with AI‑native probabilistic matching using large language models. It introduces an autoresearch loop that generates a provider‑side preference taxonomy for each occupation, iteratively refining candidate tag sets through a six‑rubric LLM judge and a seven‑critic panel. The system also maps legacy form questions back to the new taxonomy, enabling coverage assessment and human quality assurance.

arXiv:2608. 01004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Platform teams hosting agent-extensibility surfaces face a regression-economics paradox: every onboarding customer ships an evaluation set tuned to their domain, but the platform's regression set must live under a hard query-count ceiling bounded by release cadence.
arXiv:2606. 17698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based shopping agents enter production, existing benchmarks fail to capture how a shopper's requirements arrive: stated implicitly in the query, recorded in a profile, or revealed only when the right question is asked.
arXiv:2606. 12871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search Agents (SAs) typically leverage large language models (LLMs) to support complex information-seeking tasks by autonomously exploring web sources and synthesizing information into comprehensive responses.
The paper proposes a single hierarchical Semantic ID (SID) system to unify product identification across multiple merchants in e-commerce. By learning SID representations from product content, the authors demonstrate that ranking algorithms can aggregate consumer affinity and product performance over SID prefixes, improving offline relevance and online engagement. For query reformulation, SID concepts guide navigation and refinement, yielding better intent preservation and higher-quality suggestions compared to taxonomy or raw query transitions.
arXiv:2607. 27172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional search systems are optimized to retrieve items that strictly match a query, often prioritizing precision over recall.
Traditional search systems are optimized to retrieve items that strictly match a query, often prioritizing precision over recall. In e-commerce marketplaces and particularly grocery, this paradigm is limiting, as user satisfaction and commercial outcomes depend heavily on the discoverability of substitute, complementary, and thematically related items.
The paper introduces PersonaLink, a training‑free method that distills a user’s interaction history into a bounded three‑field persona and iteratively refines it by self‑evaluating a frozen 7B language model on held‑out labeled data. Each refinement rewrites the persona only if it does not regress on that slice, ensuring the persona remains bounded and query‑independent. On a 200‑user news categorization task (LaMP‑2), PersonaLink achieves 0.745–0.755 accuracy, statistically indistinguishable from BM25 retrieval’s 0.760–0.765 accuracy, demonstrating that distilled personas can match retrieval for classification but not for regression tasks.
